Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano is the crowning glory of Tuscany's Montepulciano appellation. On par with the neighboring Brunello di Montalcino, it takes the native sangiovese varietal, known here as prunolo gentile, to soaring heights. Today, take the opportunity to save 40% on a single vineyard Nobile from one of the region's most esteemed producers. The best part? Save 40%!

Founded in 1961 by Dino Carletti and considered to be “one of Montepulciano's reference-point producers” (Wine Advocate), the Poliziano estate is a perfect example of how a relentless quest for perfection has achieved remarkable results. Starting with only 22 hectares in the commune of Montepulciano, the estate has grown under the direction of Dino’s son, Federico Carletti. Working with winemaker Maria Stella Carletti and renowned consultants Carlo Ferrini and Maurizio Castelli, Federico has improved the already great quality of the estate’s wines.*
 
The vines are planted on the southern slope of the old town hill in Montepulciano, receiving excellent sun exposure. In the proper hands, prugnolo gentile is capable of producing profound wines of balance, structure and elegance, as evidenced by today’s stunning offer.*
 

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from the "Asinone" vineyard is the flagship wine of Poliziano. After years of continual experimentation, this particular vineyard was identified as the one with the best quality potential. Asinone vineyard is well ventilated and has poor soil that gives the sangiovese just the right vigor.*

94 points, Vinous:
"Darkly floral and intense, the 2021 Nobile di Montepulciano "Asinone" smolders up with an array of crushed blackberries and cherries, all complicated by a whiff of ashen stones. Hints of sage add a lovely lift. Cool-toned and sleek, this washes across the palate with an energetic blend of tart wild berries and complementary violet floral tones. Grippy and pleasantly chewy, the 2021 tapers off with edgy tannins and a tinge of residual acidity that keeps the mouth watering for more. I'm loving the lively nature here. Poliziano has been drastically reducing its use of barriques in favor of tonneaux and large casks, and it really shows here."

94 points, James Suckling:
"A savory, plush Vino Nobile with roasted sesame seeds, spices, ripe plums and citrus. A tight frame of tannins coats the citrusy fruit. Firm, long and a bit chewy now. Needs at least one more year to come around. From organically grown grapes."
93 points, Wine Spectator:
"Fresh and balanced, this red features cherry, raspberry, floral, mineral and tobacco flavors. Offers depth and a supple texture offset by a base of gripping tannins. Elegant overall, with fine length."
Order the 2021 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano "Asinone" between now and Monday, January 19th, at 4 PM. Orders will be ready for pickup on Wednesday, January 21st, after 4 PM.
